ELATRASI RETURNS
WITH NEW SINGLE  ‘LIGHTHOUSE’

Award-winning cinematic songwriter, self-taught pianist, vocalist and composer ELATRASI returns with electrifying power and raw emotion as she reveals her latest single ‘Lighthouse’ - the lead single of her upcoming debut EP. Lighthouse is set to release on 1st of March across all streaming platforms. 

Receiving a late neurodivergent diagnosis, ELATRASI wanted to shine as a beacon of hope. Strength and confidence underpin this release as she is determined to shine visibly for those who often feel unseen, unheard or have ever felt the need to hide their true selves away.

ELATRASI shares: ‘As we navigate our own storms and take tiny steps towards self-compassion, we unknowingly become a lighthouse to someone else’s storm, and this is truly a powerful notion. Lighthouse is a celebration of unmasking and unlearning, embracing the unique traits that make us who we are, accepting the unknown and showing up in a world that is still learning to understand those who perceive the world differently. It’s a gentle hug and pick-me-up on our darker days, and literally saying “You may not see your light right now, but I can see yours and I’m proud of you. You’ve got this”.’

Harnessing her spine-chilling vocal prowess and orchestral soundscapes, ELATRASI composed an epic, uplifting score to inspire an intense feeling of positivity, encapsulating the beautiful message to keep your head up and seek out your lighthouse. Ambient drones anticipate the dawn of change and growth that is about to arise. The melodic chorus and folk inspired violin sets the stage for an explosion of joy, liberation and immense gratitude. 

Inspired by her North African-Arab heritage and childhood inspired by motion pictures, ELATRASI mixes her love of composition and storytelling with her deep cinematic vocals. 

Since her debut release ‘Heavy’ in 2021 she has garnered the attention of major music publications from the likes of Noctis, EARMILK and CLOUT, celebrated as ‘Track of The Week’ from BBC Introducing and received international recognition as an award-winning songwriter.

'Heavy' earned an Honourable Mention at Nashville's Unsigned Only Music Competition 2021 and ELATRASI went on to be named the winner of the InterContinental Music Awards 2021 (Best of Europe - Ballad) and semi-finalist for the 2020 International Songwriting Competition.
